Huaihua - west - main street - BaoZi (Chinese Steamed Buns)vendor - there are two types of steamed bread in China: Northern-style and Southern-style. They are made from a leavened dough based on wheat flour. Northern-style steamed bread is produced according to a recipe containing only flour, water and yeast, whereas Southern-style steamed bread contains many other ingredients depending on the region where it is produced.Traditionally, steamed bread has been prepared at home, but more and more is now being made in factories or sold like here on the street by vendorsphoto. mhobbs
